Arweave Content Verification
Stelais uses Arweave's permanent storage network to create immutable records of your content. Once anchored, your proof exists forever—no company can alter, delete, or lose it.
Arweave is a decentralized storage network designed for permanent data. Unlike traditional cloud storage, data on Arweave is stored across hundreds of nodes and preserved through economic incentives that ensure it remains accessible indefinitely. Stelais anchors your content proofs to Arweave, creating verification records that are truly permanent and independent of any single company.
What is Arweave?
Decentralized Storage
Data is replicated across hundreds of independent nodes—no single point of failure.
Cryptographic Integrity
Each piece of data has a unique hash that proves it hasn't been modified.
Pay Once, Store Forever
Economic model ensures data persists without ongoing subscription fees.
Globally Accessible
Anyone can verify data directly from the network—no API keys or accounts needed.
How Stelais Uses Arweave
When you create a proof with Stelais, here's what gets anchored to Arweave:
A cryptographic fingerprint (SHA-256) of your exact content. This hash uniquely identifies your work without storing the actual file.
The exact time your proof was created, verified by the Arweave network's block timestamp.
Your verified creator ID, linking the proof to your Stelais account.
Optional information like content title, description, and file type.
Important: Your actual content files are never stored on Arweave—only the cryptographic proof. This keeps your work private while still providing verifiable evidence of authorship.
Why Permanent Storage Matters
Traditional proof systems have a critical weakness: they depend on companies and databases that may not exist forever.
Traditional Systems
- ✕Company goes bankrupt—data lost
- ✕Server failure—records corrupted
- ✕Acquisition—service discontinued
- ✕Policy change—data deleted
Arweave (Stelais)
- No single point of failure
- Data replicated across 100+ nodes
- Economic incentives ensure persistence
- Independent of any company
How Verification Works
Anyone can verify a Stelais proof—no account or special software required:
- 1Access the proof page
Each Stelais proof has a public verification page with all the details.
- 2Check the Arweave transaction
The proof page links directly to the Arweave transaction, viewable on any Arweave explorer.
- 3Verify the hash matches
Compare the content hash on Arweave with the original file to confirm authenticity.
